Reflection

“Our faith should be our steering wheel, not our spare tire.” –C. L. Wheeler

Prayer

Loving God,

Sometimes we turn to you only when confronting a problem we cannot seem to solve on our own. Yet we know you are always beside us, even when we take you and our faith for granted. Inspire us to practice our faith in you more intensely and deliberately, such that we daily invite you to direct and guide our words and deeds, rather than wait for a crisis to ignite our search for you. At the same time, we pray especially for those who, for whatever reason, are right now on their knees before you, crying out for help and assistance in their time of trouble. Hold and sustain them in your loving mercy, and use us to support them, as a ministry of healing and compassion. Amen.

Call to Action

Take a few minutes to perform a self-assessment of my spiritual health and well-being. Do I perhaps need to make a new commitment of time and attention to my spirituality?
